Wordless Picture Book

Title: Pancakes for Breakfast

Author: Tome DePaola

This wordless picture book would be a great book to lend itself to teaching about problem and solution. It takes you through a woman trying to make herself pancakes and what she needs to do when she does not have some of the ingredients. This book could also lend itself to teaching about sequence of events because the woman has to go through certain steps in order to make herself pancakes. The illustrations were descriptive and helped worked the reader through what was happening in the story.

Rating: 4/5

Although this book can be used to teach various different literacy skills, it was not the most interesting and it did not hold my attention the whole time. It began to get a little predictable, but I know that for a child this can be a good thing so maybe I am being a tad bit critical.
